An Invitation to all Wise Women!
New ! Deep Breath Circle
3 Session Deep Breath Circle
Topic: Legacy
Time: Wednesday Mornings 10-11:30
October 8, 15, 22
Location: We will meet at my home (or via Zoom if you live afar!)
Cost: $75 for the 3 facilitated sessions and all printed materials.
There is a possibility that we may choose to extend the discussion for 1-2 additional weeks. We’ll decide this as a group when the time comes. We can also adjust the meeting time.
I hope you are interested in joining this Legacy Circle, as we harvest the meaning and purpose of our lives, the gifts we’ve been given and the the gifts we want to pass along. This will be an opportunity to meet, share and grow in a safe and affirming environment with other wild women.
In every group, we always maintain confidentiality. Each week we will take time to share Something Good, practice deep listening, and reflect on what we learn from each other.
I invite you to join me and a few like-minded women in this next adventure. Consider inviting a friend, too. Class size is limited to 6-8.

“But music and singing have been my refuge.
And music and singing shall be my light.” Frank Ticheli
My Deep Breath Circles are offered to women 50+ who are seeking new ways to claim and celebrate their wisdom, in the company of other wise women.
In all circles we will read poetry, listen to music practice mindfulness through guided meditation, written exercises and a bit of homework. We will practice deep listening. each session will begin with Celebration and conclude with Discovery & Intention.
Future Circle Topics
New circle ideas are always percolating in my brain; here are a few for your consideration. Let me know if something here sparks an interest for you.
Feminine Archetypes
Maiden, Mother, Matriarch and Crone are four major Feminine Archetypes that we will explore in this 4-week journey. We will use Jean Shinoda-Bolen’s book “Goddesses in Older Women; how to be a juicy crone” as a guide. We will explore the many aspects of the Crone, like Wrath, Laughter, Compassion and Wisdom; we will also have the opportunity to discover and share our unique and personal Goddess Archetypes.
The Feminine Face of God
What do you see and feel if I say “God?” Now, what do you see and feel when I say “The Feminine Face of God?” What if God is a woman and you could more easily identify with her? In this 4-week class, we will explore the feminine aspects of God, and of Jesus, and in ourselves. Holy Wisdom, or Hagia (aye-ya) Sophia, is one aspect of the divine feminine that we will discuss.
Life by Design
